Patriots | Meriweather signed

ESPNews reports the New England Patriots have signed first-round draft choice FS Brandon Meriweather to a five-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

He was picked right after Bowe. This should make things easier. Look at the difference between #24 this year and #24 last year, take that number adjust it and add it to #23 last year and get Bowe to camp.

I know he(Quinn) thinks he is worth top 5 money but he wasn't picked in the top 5. I am sure everyone drafted thinks they're worth number one money. I never understood this unless you were picked 2nd and could've gone 1st then you have a little bargaining chip but to drop to 22nd. Not even close to 5.

yup, he can hold out till the cows come home...Carl ain't budging from the slotting....

hopefully Bowe has some common ****ing sense...I'd hate see his rookie season wasted because of his agent...

Cleveland just gave the farm to Joe Thomas, they can't give Quinn what he wants. He will end up having to settle for the slot money and have it written in the contract that if he hits certain escalators his current contract can be voided.

Exactly. Bowe isn't in a position to push too hard anyway at #23. I think he gets signed within the week.

He should be in before the end of next week.

Aaron Ross was taken 20th, I believe, and he signed today himself.

This is making the picture clearer.
Shouldn't take Quinn signing to get this done, but we'll see...

The Jags signed Reggie Nelson (2 picks above Bowe). With Nelson and Merriweather signed there is no excuse for Bowe not to be in camp by the end of the day tomorrow. The slot is set.
